HOLLINGsW0RTH VS.. JONAS.

We have carefully read and considered
the letter to the public which Mr.. J. M.
Hollingsworth, Of the Parish of Caddo,
has seen fit to address to ex-senator B, F.
Jonas, requesting him to at once declare
whether he was with the McEnery or the
Nichols faction of the Democratic party
in Louisiana. We admire boldncss in
politics-we know firm, and decided and
straightforward declarations from those
who seek popular suffrage, arc the win
ming cards, but for "boss" like
Hollingsworth to read such a lesson
as he has read Jonas, is so absurd that it
would make .an owl of sober wisdom
split it's beak" at the farce. Just think
of it! Jonas is not a good and sound
Democrat unless he consents to shout
himself hoarse for Nichols and Blanchard.
We happen to know that Jonas was do
ing good work in the Democratic party
before Hollingsworth was known, and
before Mr.. Blanchard had "quit going to
school" and that he was then, as now,
and always has been, the constant, able,
unflinching Democrat that he is. The
people Of Louisiana, from ono end of the
State to the other, know Mr.. Jonas and
the services he has rendered them, and
they will not, cannot and do not propose
to forget it. Sons Of Louisiana cannot
afford to be ungrateful.
But coming back to this letter, we read
between the lines: First-tlat Holdings
worth desires to quarrel with his old,
tried, trne and trusted friend, Jonas.
Second-that he proposes to throw both
Jonas and Gibson overheard, and seek to
make friends with tho McEnery and the
Eustis men, to secure their support for
Hon. N. G. Blanchard, for the United
States Senate.
We know number of men in this State
we would prefer for that position to Mr..
Blanehard-if one must come from the
country. Mr.. Blanchard has been quite
sufficiently honored for one of his years
and ability, and we do not propose to be
in at the trade or the knitting of Jonas.

Mr.. VIM. H. Harris, Commits.
sioner of immigration of this State,
has addressed the following circular
letter to the Presidents of the different
Police Juries throughout Louisiana
Dear Sir.-The Chicago Interna.
tional Fair will open on the 9TH OF
September next. The buildings are
immense and everything will be on a
grand scale.
1t is probable that more than one
million of farmers from the West will
attend. With the aid and co-opera-
ton Of Major L. J. Bird, the State
Commissioner of Agriculture, l propose
to make an exhibit Of the Agricultural
and Mineral products of Louisiana.
The State Bureau of Agriculture
and immigration will send supply of
pamphlets and books descriptive of the
State and her products, and each Par
ish is invited to cooperate by sending
pamphlets descriptive of the Parish;
and products, both mineral and vege--
table. Ample space has been secured
for the Louisiana display under the d.
rectton of Col. L. W. Glenn, ex-1lli-
nois Commissioner of the Worlds Ex-
position, and a rare opportunity is thus
offered to our State to advertise her
advantages.
The Illinois Central Railroad has
kindly consented to transport to the
Fair Grounds, at Chicago, from New
Orleans, one car load of exhibits, and
| would suggest that the Police Jury
take action necessary to have the Par
ish products shown. Specimens of
minerols, woods, cotton, sugar, tobbac-
co, grain, esculents, fruit, ETC., put up
in neat sheaves Or packages would be
acceptable 1t will be necessary to
prepay freight to New Orleans, b. t
free transportation thence to Chicago
will be furnished. Western farmers
are rapidly filing up Southwest Lou
isiana, and will soon occupy all the
Government land, and private lands
will come into market. The demand
at this time for information in regard
to Louisiana is unprecedented, and l
respectfully urge upon you the impor-
lance of taking advantage of this op.
portunity to advertise your Parish.
Articles should be prepaid and
marked 'For Chicago Exposition, To-
cal Freight Agent, New Orleans, La"
They should be shipped so as to reach
New Orleans by the Goth of August
/ am very respectfully,
VIM. Fl. HARRIS,
Commissioner Of Immigration.

The bulldozing letter of Mr.. j
NJ Holliugsworth, as it is called, to
ex-senator Jonas, has had the effect
Of making the latter reply in print
which no has done in q manly, demo
cratic way. Jonas letter is just the
kind of an one we had expected of
him. 1t is couched in the plainest of
words-with no chances of o double
construction placed on them; in fact,
tho very kind of letter he should
have written. Most of the country
newspapers throughout the State, sew
eral of them of the anti ring stripe
have spoken on the subject, and most
of them decide with Jonas. One of
the New Orleans papers says of the
document; 1t is "as comprehensive
statement of sound democracy and
manly independence as could be com.
pressed into the space it occupies"
The fact of tho matter is that Mr..
Hollingsworth has made a mistake,
acting as the principal leader of Gen.
Nicholls--one which will prove fatal
to his candidates success, whilst on
the other hand Jonas has strengthened
himself III the ranks of the democratic !
party.

had been previously approached on the
same subject by different influential re-
preventative gentlemen, but declined, as
l did the offer made by Messrs. Dupre
and Hcarsev."
Major Fl. J. Hearsey, editor of the
States, says: "There is scarcely word of
truth IN the communication beyond the
fact that Col. Hollingsworth, together
with Mr.. j. If. Foster and Mr.. Puckette-
the two former for many years my warm
personal friends-some weeks ago called
co see me at the States Office, socially, my
associate, MIR. Dupre, being also present.
Naturally, tho conversation drifted into
politics. Our visitors were strongly for
Nichols; we were as strongly opposed to
this gentleman, necessarily. All parties,
however, expressed the conviction that
the harmony and success of the Democra-
tic party were of far higher Importance
than the election of any particular indi-
yidnal. Neither Judge Fenner's name,
nor that of any one save Gov. Nichols,
was mentioned. The visit was most
cordial and pleasant one; but it had no
earthly political or public Significance
At period subsequent to this-perhaps it
was later on the same day-Mr. Dupre
aud myself requested Judge Fenner to
permit us to urge his nomination as that
Of candidate who could do more than
any one else we knew of to harmonic the
factions in the Democratic party. But,
after mature consideration, Judge Fenner
positively declined"
Mr.. Dupre concurred in Major Hearsey's
statement.
Thus is our correspondent answered,
leaving nothing of his sensational report
but little curiosity to know if Gen. Nj
cholls would have been Withdrawn had
Judge Fenner consented to become can
